The Deer Field

My best description as it is the field where the herd congregates during the rut each year.  No sign of them at the moment, but I did speak to someone earlier in the week who said she'd seen a few females down by the canal, about 2 kilometres from here.

This was on the way back from the supermarket, just after sunrise, which was again blocked by clouds to the east.

Other than that I was putting various items up for sale, including our tandem, which we've decided is better sold than gathering dust in the shed.

In the afternoon it was Six Nations Rugby.  The Italians made a good fist of their game against Ireland, but in the end the Irish were too strong for them.  The game in Cardiff ought not to have been as close.  Many kicks for points went awry, but the better team still won.
